the appliance when moving away or changing
owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food,
domestic use and being used according to these
instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do
so by the manufacturer must carry out service
and repairs including repairing and changing
the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for repairing. Otherwise
the appliance can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the
plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning
and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by
the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch
off the appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed
or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
-A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a
fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer
itself on the power cord.
-There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its
lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is
being pulled out of its niche.
-Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire
and/or electric shock.
-If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a certified service agent or qualified service
personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert
the power plug.
-There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food
or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard
devices, as they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature
control.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten
immediately after removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it
must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any
electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts of the freezer.
Safety precautions for

Transportation, unpacking
It is recommended to deliver the appliance in
original packaging, in vertical position
considering the protective warning on packaging.
After each transportation the appliance must not be
switched on for approx. 2 hours.
Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages
on it. Report possible damages immediately to the
place you bought it. In that case retain packaging.
Cleaning
Remove every adhesive tape, which ensure the parts
not to move in the appliance.
Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm
water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth.
After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.
GB
43
Placement
The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy
consumption and proper operation of the appliance.
When placing, take into consideration that it is
practical to operate the appliance between ambient
temperature limits according to the climate class that
is given in the chart below and can be found in the
data label.
If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data
the temperature of the cooling compartment can go
beyond the prescribed temperature.
Class of climate
SN
N
ST
Ambient temperature
+10 ... +32 °C
+16 ... +32 °C
+18 ... + 38 °C
If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper
data this means longer operating time of the
compressor, increasing temperature in the cooling
compartment or increasing energy consumption.
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level.
Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close
to a radiator or cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the
appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these
minimum distances into consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm must be left,
when it is less put a 0,5-1 cm non-flam insulation
between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must
be 30 cms since they give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is
totally pushed to the wall.
When placing the refrigerator keep minimal
distances recommended in figure.
A : placing it under a wall-cupboard
B : placing it freely
GB
44
Putting it into use
Put the plug into the mains socket.
Turn the thermostatic control knob to SUPER
position according to the figure and operate the
appliance at least for 4 hours.
Then reset the thermostatic control knob to
NORMAL position. This time the appliance is
suitable for storing frozen and deep-frozen foods.
Controlling the temperature
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of
the appliance automatically for more or less time
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the
required temperature.
Setting the thermostat knob can be done by rotation.
Turning the control knob clockwise cooling becomes
more and more intensive.
In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached if the thermostat knob is set to NORMAL
position according to the figure.
The thermostat can be switched off (STOP position),
which means breaking the circuit of the compressor
i.e. stopping cooling.
The temperature coming about in the freezer is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of
door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc.
In maximum position of the thermostat - in case
of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves -
the compressor may operate continually. This does
not cause damages to the appliance.
Freezing
Freezing different products should always be done in
the freezing compartment after proper preparing.
Set the thermostatic control knob to SUPER position
4 hours before freezing food in small quantity and
about 24 hours before in case of products in bigger
quantity. This time the compressor operates
continually to reach temperature necessary for
freezing.
Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the
appliance as written for about 24 hours.
After these reset the thermostatic control knob to
NORMAL position.
GB
45
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the
storing compartment after freezing has finished so
that to make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods
already stored.
Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of freezer
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after
closing the door - if you want to open it again - while
inner pressure equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure
in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
about how to use the appliance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmental information
about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the
appliance is the less energy it uses.
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and
near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor
are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where
ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film
to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to
touch foods already frozen.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which
could damage the ozone layer, in either its
refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The
appliance shall not be discarded together with the
urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat
exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites
may be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with
the sympol are recyclable.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with
water and put it to the frozen food compartment.
Wetting the bottom of the tray can shorten preparing
time.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it.
Do not leave the door open longer than
necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when
they are at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
GB
46
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases and needs more energy.
After removing the freezing shelf it is possible to
scrape off and remove smaller frost and ice with the
enclosed ice scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the frost scraper defrosting is necessary. Its
frequency depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
4-5 hours before starting defrosting turn the
thermostatic control knob to "SUPER" position so that
the stored foods can refrigerate well.
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance and put
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into a
frozen or fresh food compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off melting water, which gathers in the outlet
channel practically formed in the bottom of the
appliance, occasionally with a cloth or sponge in
direction of sides. It can be removed if you put an
adequately high tray in front of the appliance, which
defrost water will flow into.
Defrosting process can be made quicker by placing a
pot or dish filled with warm water to the freezing shelf.
After defrosting wipe the wet surfaces.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
Put the foods back.
Regular cleaning
It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and
defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using
lukewarm water and wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt
collected on the back of the appliance and the
condenser once or twice a year.
Maintenance
GB
47
When the refrigerator
is not in use
In case the appliance will not be used for a long time
follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.
Trouble shooting
During operation of the appliance some smaller but
annoying trouble can often occur, which does not
require calling a technician out. In the following chart
information is given about them to avoid unnecessary
charges on service.
We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes
with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating
sound). This is not trouble, but means normal
operation.
We draw it to your attention again that the
appliance operates discontinuously, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no-
current. That is why you must not touch the electrical
parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
Problem
The appliance does not
cool sufficiently
The appliance cools too
hard
The appliance does not
cool at all
The appliance is noisy
Possible cause
Thermostatic control is set too low.
Before freezing the appliance was not pre-cooled
